• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Guys, ever since I found out of how well benzo's work for my anxiety it's like I can't stop. Even when I feel no anxiety, I just pop another for the reason of euphoria. Thats not healthy at all and I don't want ppl to judge me on this. I have bad days where I think I'm at God's Judgement do to the obsession of OCD. and a friend gave me a klonopin and I felt normel for the first time in months. But now I'm dealing with the struggle of addiction. When I got saved or before it, I used meth, painkillers, Pot and well really anything I could get my hands on. But when I accepted Christ I turn from it all cos he called me and I wanted to be apart of him. Now this is interfiering with my relationship. If I could get the strength to endure having valium but only taking it when I need it then I would be fine. Cos honestly no other med helps my anxiety cos it's to strong. Like I'll give you a example,, Imagen you love one got on a plane. There were 100 on board and the plane crashd, fifty ppl died fifty ppl lived and I asked you not to worry about your loved one. That pull to want to worry is what I go thru whenever my anxiety and OCD Spike So pls pray for me that I'll overcome this and do it the right way. Thsnk you.

Do you have a doctor to talk about this to? It seems you are self medicating. Being under a doctors care as well as a support group like AA, many still take meds to help their situations. The key is being under a doctors care and taking the meds as prescribed. Also as I said being a support group to help when you want to take them when you want the high, not for anxiety.

Worry can be a stronghold in our lives, and we can convince ourselves into anything. The Word of God tells us that worry will not get us anywhere. Doctors can help but we must be totally honest with them for them to be able to diagnos our problems. Meetings do help and I know several who are on meds, not over medicating or self medicating, working a program. Having a intimate relationship with God through Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, He is our comforter and our councilor. All these things can work together to help us overcome any strongholds in our life.
. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

May God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ give you courage to face truth and may truth set you free.
one man set free,

Here I'm writing a testimony of God's strength in my life. I have been delivered of benzo addiction YAY! I take klonopin now and even tho it's stronger then valium it's less addictive. I take it like all my other med's. I don't abuse it and it was thru alot of hardship like running out early and having to deal with withdrawals that got me to wake up and say, I'm done with this. And now I take it as needed like a PRN. And it works GRT out of all my med's. Thanks everyone for your prayers and thru believing, God answered them.

ofcourse it's been prescribed to you by your AP,right? Meds can help you lessen the symptoms but still most of problems like yours is self healing just like having depression..taking it just as needed (PRN) is a progress.. i'm glad that you've made your way over being addicted to diazepam and choose the path to get healed by God's grace. i'm praying for you to have a final closure on having mood problems,worries and anxiety... it's not gonna get us anywhere.=)
